The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A brisk superhero brawler that keeps things moving with flashy mutant powers and back-to-back fights strung together by comic-book cutscenes.

About

X-Men: Next Dimension is a fighting game and the third game in the X-Men: Mutant Academy game series. Next Dimension expands upon the concept of the first two games by adding several new characters, 3-D maps, and a story mode, which allows the player to fight a series of battles in between short movies that move the plot along. The plot of the story mode is loosely based on the comic story "Operation: Zero Tolerance".
